White eyes , ebony smooth skin
Like chocolate and cream
A room full of sleeping children
How peaceful they dream

Yet they are not sleeping
A simple mistake
They are in a coma
From which they never wake

On their blood feeds
Mosquito flies
Every half minute
A child dies

Malaria nets at a few dollars each
Could save the life of a child
In the rest of the world
Malaria has been exiled

And now occurs
A terrible thought
If the rest of the world was black
Would these nets not be bought?

Do you think?
